Content Delivery Network and
Web Application Firewall

Scenario

Often there is too much load on servers when there are traffic spikes.
Content delivery can have latency across different locations.
Servers can be attacked (DDOS, OWASP Top Ten, etc.).
Costs are higher than needed, as infrastructure might be oversized.

Solution

Content delivery network (CDN) to keep traffic away from servers, and ensure fast delivery across the globe.
Web application firewall (WAF) to filter traffic before it can reach servers.

Through this collaboration, we ensure the seamless setup and configuration of Fastly CDN/WAF services for various servers, tailored to meet specific needs.

One of the key aspects of our service is the ongoing monitoring and updates of the Fastly WAF, which includes vigilance against traffic spikes, adherence to OWASP Top Ten security principles, and effective filtering of bot traffic.

Fastly itself boasts an array of features designed to enhance security and performance. Real-time visibility and analytics empower users with insights into their web traffic, while an advanced rule set, including OWASP ModSecurity core Rule Set, fortifies defenses against emerging threats.

The global scale and performance of Fastly's edge cloud platform ensure low-latency protection across a diverse range of environments. Moreover, granular controls enable customization of security policies, rule sets, and traffic patterns to align with specific requirements.

The inclusion of Bot Protection functionality allows for the differentiation between benign and malicious bots, safeguarding legitimate traffic from unwarranted blocks. Additionally, IP/Threat Intelligence capabilities leverage known malicious IP addresses and suspicious traffic patterns to proactively mitigate threats.

For organizations bound by regulatory compliance such as PCI DSS, Fastly offers robust compliance and reporting features, ensuring adherence to industry standards and regulations.
